We present estimates of heritability for carcass traits of cattle published in the scientific
literature. Seventy-two papers published form 1962 to 2004, which reported estimates of …

Bos indicus cattle acquired very particular traits to thrive in distinct environments based on
the evolutionary adaptation process they have undergone, becoming particularly relevant for …

The objective of this study was to characterize residual feed intake (RFI) and to estimate
phenotypic and genetic correlations with performance and ultrasound carcass traits in …

Simple Summary Knowledge of genetic parameters is essential to obtain breeding values in
order to increase the response to selection and incorporate novel traits in designing a …

The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for scrotal circumference at 365
(SC365) and 450 (SC450) days of age, age at first calving (AFC), ribeye area (REA), backfat …

The objectives were to estimate genetic parameters needed to elucidate the relationships of
a molecular breeding value (MBV) for marbling, intramuscular fat (IMF) of yearling bulls …

O objetivo deste trabalho foi estimar correlações genéticas e fenotípicas entre escores
visuais e características de carcaça medidas por ultrassom, para verificar a eficácia desses …

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the genetic and environmental factors affecting
records of longissimus muscle area (LMA) and backfat thickness (BF) obtained between the …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic variability of body composition traits
measured by ultrasound, growth traits, and visual scores as well as their genetic …

Simple Summary Profitability of the beef industry depends on the performance of both
finishing cattle and the breeding herd. Breeding programs need to be designed in a way that …
